my commute is 1.5 miles, I'm looking to buy a home in an area that will be about 10miles. My wife thinks I should get a car when we move, since 10 miles is a much longer ride. I tell her I'd rather get a kick-ass bike. She also doesn't realize that I've been stretching my evening commute to 8-9miles for the last couple of weeks. I won't think about buying a 2nd car (a car for just me) unless the commute is around 15miles. But, i probably wouln't move that far, or I'd make sure I have public transit options.
I just don't have a need or want for cars too much anymore.
